Key things to remember
The essentials from this document in plain words. Check the full document before you rely on a figure.
- Light duty plugs for concrete, stone and brick. They take self-tapping screws, wood screws or coach screws.
- Colour-coded by screw gauge: each plug diameter suits a gauge range, so the colour tells you which screw to use.
- Sizes run from 4mm diameter (1 to 3 gauge screws) to 12mm diameter (20 to 24 gauge screws), in lengths from 25 to 75mm.
- Examples: 6mm plugs suit 8 to 9 gauge screws, 6.5mm plugs 10 to 12 gauge, 8mm plugs 14 to 16 gauge and 10mm plugs 16 to 18 gauge.
- Tapered point to start easily in a pre-drilled hole, and the plug expands along its full length.
- Uses include electrical fittings, pipe saddles, lights, signs, brackets, handrails and through-fixing timber frames.
Who it helps: Plumbers, electricians and builders matching a plug to a screw for light fixings into masonry.
